Lord Brendan Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Sorry if this has already been addressed, but doesn't the bolded part make this an ODP instead of a PIAT?Congrats to my allies in NPO on this treaty PIATs and ODPs are the same thing, with different wording. "Optional Military Aid" = "Optional Defense". Unless you intend to fill your allies' aid slots with 2000 soldiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 It was an MDP, not an MADP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caliph Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I have no idea how I have no memory of that. The men in black?!?!?No chance:P That was before the Unjust War. When the Unjust War broke out, the NPO publicly withdrew support from the UJP and as such cancelled their treaties with MK in their 5 day countdown of waiting until the Drinking Buddies formally expired, allowing NPO to declare war on the MK without violating the Drinking Buddies. Funny how they waited the 5 days before declaring war on GOONS allies because they didn't want to violate the Drinking Buddies pact, but didn't come to GOONS aid at all thus violating the Drinking Buddies pact.

Electron Sponge Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 So to recap, NPO was willing to sell their soul in order to get MK to sign an MDP, but MK said no way so NPO settled for a PIAT (which they normally don't sign). This thread was a convenient way of announcing said PIAT while obfuscating the true nature of the agreement. MK would only sign a PIAT if they got their first strike capability back. Well done to the MK foreign relations team. Masterstroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about rebutting what he said with facts accompanied by logic and reason instead of just falling back on your usual ad homs? I thought it was pretty good. Are you suggesting that the NPO-MK war did take place during the 'Unjust War'? Or are you just willing to agree with any statement, no matter how ridiculous, that seems opposed to the Order. I very much look forward to working with MK in future. Sorry if it doesn't fit into the Vox doomsday prophecies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Janova Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Are we special as well then? We have had a PIAT/ToA with the NPO for a very long time. According to the web they also have one with NADC, and they have Agora which is effectively a PIAT bloc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigbigadorlou Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Because the MDP only applies on april first, next year someone needs to DOW MK (if this is still active) just to see the two of them fighting together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poyplemonkeys Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I figured that MK demanded the nuclear term dropped as part of anything they signed. Think you're probably reaching a bit regarding the nature of the OP trying to obscure the fact it's not an MDP though. Just some 1 April shens imo.
